The blog where I share excerpts of the stories that I have written.

Landline

Landline - Rainbow Rowell Even if it was a sample, I enjoyed this one. I only hope that Georgie and Neal's marriage can be saved.

Nimbus

Nimbus - David James Morton

I found myself enjoying this little story, but I was left with several unanswered questions, mainly questions about Faith's father and how and why Faith's mother left him. Other than that, that was a great story.

Past Forward-A Serial Novel: Episode 2

Past Forward-A Serial Novel: Episode 2 - Chautona Havig In the continuation of the series, I was impressed with how Willow's story was progressing as she moves from her isolated life into the modern world.

Divergent Parody 2: To Four With Love A Letter From Tris

Divergent Parody 2: To Four With Love A Letter From Tris - Stir Ling Well, I was honestly hoping for this book to be somewhat funny, but it felt a bit lacking in some areas.

Divergent Parody: Confessions of Four A Love Letter to Tris

Divergent Parody: Confessions of Four A Love Letter to Tris - Stir Ling The letter alone seems to convince me that Four and Tris belonged together, but not all events in the original story needed to be retold. This story, as flawed as it is, deserves a 3.5 for effort.

Four and Tris Almost Make It: A Divergent Parody (Four the Divergent Book 2)

Four and Tris Almost Make It: A Divergent Parody (Four the Divergent Book 2) - Stir Ling I'm honestly not sure of what to make of this book, seeing as it was written in the same vein as the first book. While it wasn't really bad, it wasn't good either.

Four Kissing Tris: A Divergent Parody (Four the Divergent Book 1)

Four Kissing Tris: A Divergent Parody (Four the Divergent Book 1) - Stir Ling I wasn't impressed by this story, but I'm not repulsed by it either. While the story has something deleted from the original Divergent series, it could use a bit of improvement.

Between Boyfriends (The Between Boyfriends Series)

Between Boyfriends (The Between Boyfriends Series) - Sarka-Jonae Miller Between Boyfriends is intelligent, insightful, and provocative. It stands as one of the better, more realistic chick-lit stories of the decade.

Spearwood Academy One: Episodes 1-5

Spearwood Academy One: Episodes 1-5 - A.S. Oren I love the mix of reality and fantasy in this story, and it is a work of fantasy worthy to be called a 'classic' some day.

Arianna Rose: The Awakening

Arianna Rose: The Awakening - Jennifer Martucci, Christopher Martucci This novel is brilliant, beautifully conceived, and beautifully written...and it also hits the bull's-eye for a gripping read.

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - Cory Doctorow I was gripped by "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" as soon as I discerned its startling premise. It is an accomplished adventure.

The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods (Illustrated)

The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods (Illustrated) - Charles Perrault, Charles  Welsh, Walter  Crane I really enjoyed this story, even if I preferred the film versions. I hope to read more from this series soon.

Arianna Rose

Arianna Rose  - Jennifer Martucci, Christopher Martucci Arianna Rose is an eerie paranormal story that captivates readers from page one. The author creates an element of suspense that builds until the chillingly believable conclusion.

Aegis Rising

Aegis Rising - S.S. Segran S.S. Segran's latest highly entertaining story will appeal to fans of fantasy novels everywhere! This book truly shows the power of language and storytelling.

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Even if it was just a sample, The Kite Runner is the kind of story you’ve never read before, until it hits you.

Emma (Annotated)

Emma (Annotated) - Jane Austen, Douglas Patten Emma is a must-read for anyone who enjoys history and intrigue. Just about every other scene in the book is a simple pleasure unto itself. It was hard to put down!
